Revenge Of The Secret Heiress The Observer
Anika stared down at her phone screen for what felt like an eternity. The call with Freddy had ended, but the weight of his question hung in the air like smoke. What’s your call? Her thumbs hovered over the glass as her mind scrambled to calculate her next move. The makeup division vacancy was a massive opening, but if Freddy already knew who she was, stepping into it could be a trap.She turned around slowly and walked back onto the supply chain floor, slipping the phone into her pocket. Her expression was a perfect, unbothered mask, but her chest felt tight.Unbeknownst to her, Tobey was tracking her every step. He didn't look up from his monitor, but his sharp eyes followed her reflection in the glass partition. He noticed the rigid line of her shoulders and the slight hesitation before she pulled out her chair. He adjusted his glasses, his face completely unsmiling, adding this new piece of data to the long list of things that didn't add up about the new intern.Anika sat at her d

Anika walked up to her desk and sat down. As she reached for her mouse, she noticed a small, folded piece of paper tucked right under her keyboard. It was handwritten, which was weird because who did she know that would be playing games like this? Tobey?She opened it and scanned the messy ink: pick up your phone when it rings.“What?” She frowned, looking around. Cassandra and Paul were nowhere to be found and Tobey was seated behind her, heavily focused in his phone. “Pick up my phone when it rings?” What kind of game was this? She crumpled the note in her fist and threw it into the small bin under her desk. Her heart did a quick, heavy thump against her chest. She didn't like hidden messages, and she liked them even less on a Thursday morning when her head was already throbbing from…well, from everything.It wasn't even up to a second later—she had opened her mouth to call onTobey and accuse him—when her phone vibrated against her thigh. It was a strange unsaved private number.An
Revenge Of The Secret Heiress Panic attacks
With his expression filled with genuine pity, Carlos sighed. "Shawn is just a puppet. You gave him the strings, but you left the stage wide open for the directors to grab them. He didn't overrule you because he wanted to. He did it because he was terrified of what would happen if he refused."Anika sat down slowly, her posture perfectly rigid as she leaned forward, her elbows resting on the mahogany table. "Santiago," she whispered, her jaw tightening. "Shawn said the board didn't have my back. He's trying to please them for some reason.""Santiago is just a symptom, Anika," Carlos said. He didn't offer her a comforting word or try to soften the blow. He reached into his leather bag and slid a single, confidential document across the polished wood. “There's something you should know. I had to come to you as soon as I found out.”Anika sat up straight, her heart doing a sudden heavy beat in her chest. “What did you find out?”“Seven years ago, your family was murdered. You have no memo
Revenge Of The Secret Heiress In the corridor
Anika rounded the corner of the west wing, her mind still tied to the urgency in Carlos's tone. Then she was brought to a halt when her shoulder brushed against someone coming from the opposite direction. It hadn't been in a violent crash, but the folders in her hand slipped slightly, the pages rustling in the sudden quiet of the hall."I’m sorry," she said, her voice dropping into its usual polite, measured tone as she adjusted her grip."My fault," a smooth, steady voice replied. "I didn't see you coming."Anika raised her eyes. Standing right in front of her was a slender, average-tall man with a familiar face - where had she seen him before? From the legal analytics department??He didn't step back immediately. He stood there, his hands loosely tucked into his trouser pockets as his gaze went tracking the calm expression on her face."You’re Anika, right?" The man asked, his head tilting just a fraction as a faint, unreadable smile touched his lips. "The hardworking staff on the l

The smell of sweet Jasmin and wet moss filled the warm air in the room. Anika sat at the small wooden table, her hands wrapped around a the fresh mug of tea. For the first time in days, her shoulders relaxed, “thanks to you, I feel more at ease.”“Pleasure doing business with you, ma'am.” Christopher teased, flashing her a warm smile. He sat directly opposite her, his tie completely loosened. He watched her over the rim of his cup, his dark eyes fixed entirely on her face."I'm glad you're telling me this," Christopher said softly, a relaxed smile touching his lips. He looked incredibly happy that she was finally opening up, letting her guard down to share personal things with him instead of hiding behind her cold mask. "You've been carrying everything alone for too long."Anika took a slow sip, her gaze dropping to the table. "Shawn is changing, Christopher. The power shift is getting messy. Can you believe that he's doing their bidding now? He doesn't listen to me anymore. I need to

Arthur stepped closer to the sofa, his chest heaving as he stared down at Desiree. "I regret ever trusting you. I should have never partnered with your failing family. We need millions to pay back the default penalty just to stop the foreclosure, and we don't even have the full money to pay them back! Where is the advance capital Delacroix sent for the transport setup?"Desiree raised her head up, her eyes flashing with a sharp, desperate defensiveness. She stood up to face him. "I had to protect our image, Arthur! I spent it on my fiftieth birthday party preparation! The catering deposits, the venue, the elite guest list—if we look broke to high society, the foundation collapses anyway!""You spent corporate advance money on a party?!" Arthur barked, his face turning dark. "Are you insane?""It's not like that, uncle. It's just a little price to pay for something big." Tori chimed in loudly, stepping forward to defend her mother. "We had to look the part! We used our shares of the ca

Anika just stared at him as he explained, then, to back up all of his points, he paused, opened the black bag he'd been carrying, and brought out a neat brown envelope. She frowned but collected it from him to open it. This was his proof after all. NOTICE OF INHERITANCE. To Ms. Anika Delacroix

Christopher felt his leg turn into a log of wood. He wanted to run, to hide his shameful face from her? Why was this death so personal to him? He had killed the poor woman. Suddenly, her eyes met with his. He could see fire burning in them. "You!" Rage overwhelmed her as she ran towards him. "You

Anika quickly made payment for her medicine, and on her way out, threw two pills in her mouth. She was on her way to the hospital. Heaving in a deep sigh as she arrived at the entrance, she told herself to be strong. She would call Lark again and try to...try to what? Well! She would figure someth

Anika's chest was rising and falling from fear. Why did Tori have to see her? This was so humiliating!"Uh...Tori, I-" She tried to speak but the right words just wouldn't form. "How dare you! Thief!" Before Anika could say another word, Tori jumped up on her, pulling her hair so tight that strand
